Valor's Shaw Condo Project Gets Approval to Expand: Figure 1

At Wednesday night’s ANC 2C meeting, Valor Development received approval to acquire a parcel of city-owned land adjacent to their current acquisition at 631 P Street NW. The city-owned parcel has been vacant since the 1968 riots.

Valor can now move ahead with plans to build a 65- to 70-unit condo project on the land, which spans the north side of P Street from 7th Street to Marion (map). With the newest parcel, they can execute their expanded design (the old design was limited to about 45 units) and include ground-level retail at the corner of 7th and P Street.

Preliminary plans, presented by Jeff Goins from PGN Architects, include a partially raised garage with about 40 parking spaces. The building will be four stories tall, and as Housing Complex reported earlier this week, units will range in size from 510 to 853 square feet

The initial rendering has a modern facade, which incited some criticism from the crowd at the ANC meeting, but Valor made it clear to the committee that they were happy to listen to feedback and revise their plan as the project moves ahead. About ten percent of the condos will be set aside as affordable units.
